powerpc: Fix duplicate const clang warning in user access code
[ Upstream commit e00d93ac ] This re-applies commit b91c1e3e ("powerpc: Fix duplicate const clang warning in user access code") (Jun 2015) which was undone in commits: f2ca8090 ("powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer in __get_user_nosleep()") (Feb 2017) d466f6c5 ("powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer in __get_user_nocheck()") (Feb 2017) f84ed59a ("powerpc/sparse: Constify the address pointer in __get_user_check()") (Feb 2017) We see a large number of duplicate const errors in the user access code when building with llvm/clang: include/linux/pagemap.h:576:8: warning: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier] ret = __get_user(c, uaddr); The problem is we are doing const __typeof__(*(ptr)), which will hit the warning if ptr is marked const. Removing const does not seem to have any effect on GCC code generation.
